Good evening it is June 17, 2016. It has been 5 days since the Orlando shootings of innocent people.
I continue to pray for the deceased, the survivors and all involved from first responders to families of this atrocity.
Pray for peace. You are loved and important in this life. You matter.

Desiderata
Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

My deepest condolences to all who are suffering in Orlando and the country by the hateful act of murder that occurred there. I pray for those that are injured and those that lost their lives in such a violent manner. Pray for peace.

Hello it is June 9, 2016. A simple prayer tonight. Be at peace within. Be at peace with the decisions you have made, the choices you have made and the people you let into or out of your life. Be at peace with the decisions that were not so comfortable to make knowing your life is better because of it. You matter and you are loved. Peace

Good afternoon today is June 7, 2016. Todays message is simple. Be grateful and be kind. Some people have such bad days they wish they wouldn't have gotten out of bed today.
One kind word can turn someones day totally around and make it an awesome day. Just as being grateful can open your compassion and showing kindness for others brings a smile to the recipients heart as well as your own.
You are loved. You do matter. Peace

Happy June 3, 2016. Today is about acceptance. Sometimes it is easier to accept the reality that you are never going to have that relationship with certain people and it's time to let them go. For whatever reasons some people like to lead you on to think you might have a good relationship with them. Then you find you are right back where the relationship stagnated in the first place. Time to let go of that disappointment. You have been carrying it around for way too long. Accept the fact that what you hope for will never be. Don't waste anymore time being pulled in on a fishing line to be let down again.
Time to find someone that believes in you and respects your efforts to be all you can be. You deserve good friends that have faith that you can do anything you put your mind too.
You matter and you are loved. Peace

Hi today is June 1, 2016. We have made it through Memorial day and school is about out for the summer. Do you have plans?
It is helpful if you can volunteer or go to a recreaction center. Some children cannot afford to go to a rec. center so the Boys and Girls club was developed. This helps children by having a place to go to have a good time without getting in trouble. Be kind. Help children to change their mindset. Thet are our future. You do matter and you are loved. Peace
